Hello everyone. I've managed to turn Stellarium's telescope control module and my GUI patch into a plug-in. Here's a link to the package: http://stellarium.hit.bg/plugins/TelescopeControl.zip If you want to try it, you will have to remove the TelescopeMgr module from your local copy of Stellarium by running the attached patch. I haven't included the telescope.png texture in the package, you need to move it from your /textures directory to the plug-in main directory. If you are going to import this code in the repository, you may want to use the svn move command to preserve this file's revision history. The second attached file is a patch you need to apply to the Dummy telescope server if you want it to write to its log file when launched by the plug-in. I should have made it backwards compatible, but this will probably happen later. Known issues: ;) - The telescope server processes need to be terminated manually after Stellarium quits (see my e-mail from earlier today for the reason). Before a better solution is found I can code the servers to quit if they haven't maintained a connection for some time. Any other suggestions? - The plug-in uses the main Stellarium configuration file instead of module.ini. That's why module.ini is empty. This will be fixed in the next version. I just didn't have enough time today. - The selection marker for telescopes is bright white in night mode. See my previous e-mail on colours. You can also have a look at the TODO list in the README file. :) I have a test next week, so the next version should be expected no earlier than next Sunday. I hope that I haven't forgotten to fix some embarrassing error in the code. :) Bogdan Marinov |
